My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey) novel Chapter 539

Natalie tiptoed towards the source of the noise and realized that it came from Selina's room.

It was the sound of Selina's suppressed sobs. She sounded heartbroken.

Natalie stood there stunned, and at a loss for what to do.

Although she had not known Selina for long, she could see that she was obviously a lively and outgoing girl. Why would she be crying like that in the middle of the night?

Natalie stood frozen at the spot, not knowing whether she should leave or not.

She was not that close with Selina yet; at least not close enough to ask about personal and private matters.

But if she left—

She would be worried about her.

After hesitating for a long time, Natalie finally made up her mind and gently knocked on Selina's door.

The sobbing came to an abrupt stop.

After a while, Selina swung the door open.

She was visibly surprised to see Natalie standing outside her door.

"What's up, Natalie?" Her lips curled into a smile.

If it weren't for Selina's bloodshot and swollen eyes, Natalie would have really thought that she had just hallucinated hearing the cries.

"Do you mind if I come in?" Natalie gestured to Selina's room.

She knew something was troubling Selina.

It would be better if Selina had someone to talk to.

After hesitating for a moment, Selina nodded. "Sure, please come in."

Natalie sat on the bed and made a bit of small talk.

"Natalie, aren't you supposed to be asleep at this hour? Why are you in such a good mood for a chat?" Selina chuckled.

Natalie could tell that Selina was faking that laugh.

She decided to not beat around the bush and just blurted, "I heard you, Selina. Is something troubling you?"

Selina stopped in her tracks.

After a while, her smile faded and she asked solemnly. "You heard that?"

Natalie nodded. "Would you like to talk about it? It might make you feel better."

She knew it would be hard for Selina to shed all pretenses and reveal her vulnerable self to her, but she just wanted to help the sweet girl.

These are Selina's deepest, darkest secrets. Secrets that she had never told anyone else.

However, she could no longer keep her emotions hidden that night.

"Can I lean on your shoulder, Natalie?" Her eyes glistened with tears.

Natalie patted her own shoulder and nodded. "Sure. Come here."

Selina leaned in and choked out, "I am in love with a man, Natalie. I love him so much. I love him to the bone."

Natalie tensed, her breathing pausing for a moment.

That man was probably the reason behind Selina's gut-wrenching tears. It would break anyone's heart just to hear it.

Selina sobbed and continued, "I loved him for ten years, Natalie. When I first met him, he had a girlfriend, but I had a huge crush on him. His girlfriend dumped him the year after that, so I immediately confessed my feelings, but it went unaccepted. I pestered him for a long time after that, and he finally accepted me by the fifth year, but-"

Natalie felt the wetness of Selina's tears on her shoulder. "I knew he didn't love me back then. For ten years, I tried different ways to make him love me, but nothing worked. Even when he called me his girl, even when he asked me to marry him, he still couldn't love me. What should I do, Natalie?" She wept even harder.

"I know I am asking for it, but I can't stop loving him. Even when I saw him f*cking another woman, I still can't let him go."

Natalie listened to her story intently, but she did not say a word.

When she was finished with her story, Natalie persuaded Selina to go to sleep.

Selina grabbed Natalie's hand tightly, refusing to let go unless Natalie stayed by her side until she fell asleep.

Natalie couldn't bring herself to leave her alone, so she agreed.

Perhaps she was tired from all the crying; she fell asleep in a blink of an eye. As Natalie stared at the ceiling in silence, she heard Selina calling out a man's name as she dreamt.

She thought that it was probably that man's name —the man who broke Selina's heart into a million pieces.
